{"product_id":"music-for-the-age-of-miracles","title":"Music for the Age of Miracles","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Clientele return with \u003cem\u003eMusic for the Age of Miracles\u003c\/em\u003e, their first release of new music since 2010's \u003cem\u003eMinotaur EP\u003c\/em\u003e and their first album on Tapete Records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter The Clientele released \u003cem\u003eMinotaur\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAlasdair MacLean\u003c\/strong\u003e, singer and principal songwriter for the band, made two wonderful albums with Lupe Núñez-Fernández as Amor de Días, issued a Clientele best-of called \u003cem\u003eAlone and Unreal\u003c\/em\u003e, oversaw reissues of \u003cem\u003eSuburban Light\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eStrange Geometry\u003c\/em\u003e, and played shows solo or as part of Amor de Días or The Clientele.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe and Lupe have also been raising a family, so the prospect of a new Clientele record seemed to be diminishing. It seems fitting, then, that a chance meeting with a ghost from the past\/future is what led to \u003cem\u003eMusic for the Age of Miracles\u003c\/em\u003e, the first album of new Clientele songs in seven years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere's something rapturous about the ways in which tracks on side one such as \"\u003cem\u003eFalling Asleep\u003c\/em\u003e\" (featuring the Santoor) and the exquisite \"\u003cem\u003eEverything You See Tonight Is Different From Itself\u003c\/em\u003e\" stretch out in choral harmony and rhythmic syncopation. Leon Beckenham's trumpet solo on the latter is a highlight of the record, as is the way the words \"ballerina, breathe\" reappear at the three-minute mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSimilarly, Keen's beautifully evocative interludes \"\u003cem\u003eLyra in April\u003c\/em\u003e\", \"\u003cem\u003eLyra in October\u003c\/em\u003e\", and \"\u003cem\u003eNorth Circular Days\u003c\/em\u003e\", the last of these featuring a recording of the wind captured outside the late filmmaker Derek Jarman's house in Dungeness on the Kent coast, mean this album sounds subtly but significantly different from previous ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBirth, rebirth, the ghost in the trees, something on the edge of sight, the faces we love, childhood, parenthood, the dance of our days; music for the age of miracles, indeed.
